This is the sort of thing that these two dillweed politicians can use in their campaign ads in the future - "brought forward legislation to protect children from harm on the internet" or some shit like that. It is VERY important for democrats in conservative areas to have this sort of thing in their pockets to show that they are "trying hard" to the church going bible thumpers.

It should also be noted that literally hundreds of pieces of legislation get "introduced" each year and then promptly die on the order paper because there is little or no real support or desire to move such an act forward. At this point, I was unable to the S number for this document, and unable to find anything like it in the congressional register, so it is likely just a trial balloon deal.
